Q: How does whey protein compare to other types of protein?

Protein foods are not equal and can vary in a number of ways:

Taste

Digestion and absorption rates

Protein content

Fat content

Carb content

The number and quantity of essential amino acids

Whey protein is a high quality complete protein with rich amounts of all the essential amino acids. The biological value of whey protein is one of the highest when compared to other proteins. Whey protein has a biological value of 104 compared to 100 for eggs, 83 for fish, 74 for soy protein and 54 for wheat. Biological value is the measurement of protein quality that expresses the efficiency in which the body uses protein.

Q: What is whey protein?

Whey protein is a high quality protein powder derived from cow’s milk. Whey is one of the extracted proteins from milk during the cheese-making process, the other being casein. Of the two, whey protein is more easily digested, thus, absorbed faster by the body. Whey is a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids required by the human body in amounts proportional to the body’s protein synthetic requirements.

Q: Does LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate contain rennet?

Whey is a by-product of the cheese-making process when rennet is added to milk. LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate contain traces of microbial rennet which is not an animal-based product.

Q: What is LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate sweetened with?

LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate are sweetened with sucralose. Sucralose is a non-calorie sweetener derived from sugar. It is 600 times sweeter than sugar and is known by the brand name “Splenda”. Sucralose is used around the world as a sweetener in foods and beverages.

According to more than 100 scientific studies conducted over a 20-year period, sucralose has been demonstrated to be safe as a food sweetener.

Q: Is whey protein easy to digest?

Yes, whey protein is soluble and easy to digest. It is quickly absorbed by the body to provide the important essential amino acids needed to nourish the muscles and other body tissues. LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate contain enzymes to assist the body in breaking down the protein.

Q: What filtration process is used for LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate protein powders?

The whey protein sources in LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate are produced by a unique combination of ultrafiltration and cross-flow microfiltration. Ultrafiltration is the process of using a partly permeable membrane to separate much of the lactose and soluble minerals from the whey. This is done by forcing the lactose and other undesirables through the membrane at high pressure. The proteins which are too large to be forced through remain, thus creating a whey protein concentrate with a higher percentage of protein than before. Cross-flow microfiltration is a state-of-the-art high tech manufacturing process that uses ceramic filters to remove the fat, lactose, and other unwanted materials, hence isolating the protein. The protein is not subjected to chemicals, therefore it is left unharmed and in its original state.

Q: Is LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate is an excellent choice for vegetarians who include dairy products in their diet. Whey is a by-product that occurs when rennet is added to milk in the cheese making process. LeanFit® Whey and LeanFit® Isolate contain traces of microbial rennet which is not an animal by-product.

Q: Do the enzymes in LeanFit® products come from plant or animal sources?

Only plant- or microbial-sourced enzymes are used in LeanFit® products.
